Pierre Gasly at the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix

Pierre Gasly executed a disciplined race at the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix, converting a 13th-place grid start into a points-scoring 10th position, a performance that saw him finish 1:26:35.315 after 44 laps. This result at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps represented a solid recovery for the Alpine F1 Team driver, who gained three positions over the course of the race. His fastest lap, a 1:47.177 on lap 42, placed him 17th among all drivers, indicating a consistent, if not outright blistering, pace within the midfield. The French outfit's strategy allowed Gasly to manage his tyres effectively across the demanding layout, a critical factor in securing the single championship point. This contrasted with his teammate, Franco Colapinto, who started 15th and concluded the race in 19th, highlighting Gasly's ability to maximize the package on this particular Sunday.

The race itself was dominated by McLaren, with Oscar Piastri securing the victory and [Lando Norris at the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix](/results/2025-baku-lando-norris) taking second, but the midfield battle remained intense. Gasly's measured drive kept him in contention for points, navigating the challenges presented by Spa's high-speed sectors and technical corners. His performance here adds to his season tally, moving him to 20 points overall, as detailed on the [Formula 1 — official site](https://www.formula1.com/en).
